Actress Linda Bellingham

"It just incenses you. I know it's tough, I know times are hard... but surely somebody in that council must have weighed up what they'll lose in tourist trade.

"We have a huge tourist attraction in the West End, in our theatres. It is second to none. It can't be any worse for people trying to take their families out - a family of four and the parking charges on top of it!

"There is no other city in the world that seems to do this and I cannot believe that if you looked at where the costs are and how they run that council that they can't claw it back from somewhere else.

"It's dangerous. The idea for me getting on the night bus - it doesn't bare thinking about! Apart form the fact that people feel they need to come and talk to me - I'd be there all night!
